2011 US MID-AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFYING
Two Veterans;
One Rookie Qualify for US Mid-Am
The West
Course at Norwood Hills Country Club was in perfect condition Thursday for the
conduct of the 2011 US Mid-Amateur Qualifying. The putting greens were some of
the best we have experienced this summer, firm and fast!
Two veterans of
the US Mid-Am and a newcomer to the USGA Championship scene succeeded in earning
the three qualifying spots. Scott Hovis (Jefferson City, MO) and Torrey Welsch
(Belleville, IL) earned medalist honors posting Even par 70 over the 6790 yard
West Course. Skip Berkmeyer earned the third and final spot with a 1-over par
71.
